For how many integer values of n will the value of the expression 4n +...
1 < 4n + 7 < 200
n can be 0, or -1
n cannot be -2 or any other negative integer or the expression 4n + 7 will be less than1.
The largest value for n will be an integer < (200 - 7) /4
193/4 = 48.25, hence 48
The number of integers between -1 and 48 inclusive is 50

For how many integer values of n will the value of the expression 4n +...
To find the integer values of n for which the expression 4n + 7 is an integer greater than 1 and less than 200, we need to consider the range of possible values for n.
1. Upper Limit:
The expression 4n + 7 should be less than 200. So, we can write the inequality as:
4n + 7 < />
Subtracting 7 from both sides:
4n < />
Dividing both sides by 4:
n < />
2. Lower Limit:
The expression 4n + 7 should be greater than 1. So, we can write the inequality as:
4n + 7 > 1
Subtracting 7 from both sides:
4n > -6
Dividing both sides by 4:
n > -1.5
3. Combining the Inequalities:
From the upper limit, we know that n < 48.25,="" but="" since="" n="" should="" be="" an="" integer,="" the="" maximum="" possible="" value="" for="" n="" is="" />
From the lower limit, we know that n > -1.5, but since n should be an integer, the minimum possible value for n is -1.
4. Counting the Integer Values:
To find the count of integer values of n within this range, we subtract the minimum value from the maximum value and add 1:
48 - (-1) + 1 = 50
Therefore, there are 50 integer values of n for which the expression 4n + 7 is an integer greater than 1 and less than 200.
Hence, the correct answer is option C) 50.
